There's a lot of pleasure to be had here. I love watching Eames at work on his art forgery (with three suns!), all the casually described but well thought out family background, and how instinctively he takes to his first dream forgery, not even realising the talent is unusual. Of course I'm curious about how he got from here to the dream sharing industry, but this is a lovely little snippet all by itself.
What does it say that Aiko attacks him? Is that her own anger coming through, or a projection of the way Eames feels about how he left off their whatever-it-was, manifesting his guilt or regret in her violence.
I love the brief reference to Jack Sawyer, so little said about what was obviously a relationship that steered Eames's life on a different course, out of the army. Says a lot about Eames the way Sawyer is so briefly remembered in that one sparse paragraph, but also that he chooses to revisit Sawyer in his first forgeries.
We talked about this a while back, how Eames might be ex-army but Arthur was a senator's son. I think your interest is probably more with Eames, but if you wanted to write Arthur's backstory too - well you know that I for one would be lapping it up.
